@ugcbyjen1 Mine was pitching with no proof. What changed it was making two spec videos for products I already owned and leading every pitch with those. Brands answer a lot faster when they can picture their product in your style.
@net_influencer This is why batching saved me. One day for filming, one for editing, and pitching happens in a single block on Monday mornings so it doesn't bleed into everything else. You don't have to be great at all of it, just stop doing it all at once.
@rm1rey For a lot of small shops the honest answer is nobody until Monday. Even a free uptime monitor that texts you when the site goes down beats finding out from a customer.
@home_work_biz The fit question is the one most people skip. A simple test I use: could you do the first paid job this week with the skills you already have? If not, it's a course you're buying, not a side hustle yet.
@goldentallow@kit_sats This is the best part of buying small. When the maker answers, you get the real reason behind the ingredients instead of a script. A quick video of you answering your most common question would make a great pinned post.
@mayankgulati99 Mine is first-draft captions. I write the hook myself and let AI give me five versions of the rest, then keep the one that sounds most like me talking. Chasing invoices is a close second though, nobody enjoys writing that email.
Unpopular opinion: you don't need a second job. You need one thing you can sell this weekend.
Mine is product photos and quick graphics for small brands. That's the whole plan for my Christmas challenge, and today is Day 6.
What's your one thing? Drop it below and I'll tell you who I'd pitch it to π

@HopeRemy One thing that works well early on: make two or three sample pieces for brands you'd love to work with and post them publicly. It shows the exact work instead of describing it, and sometimes those brands reach out first.
@lanpham5 Missed calls first is such a good call. Even a simple text back that goes out within a minute saves more jobs than any fancy tool, because most people just call the next business on the list.
@digitalpritam_ The learning in public lane is the underrated one. Sharing the messy middle of something you're still figuring out gets way more replies than polished expert posts, because people can actually jump in.
@MoneyActuallyUK Build first, count later is the right order. One thing that tends to move impressions faster than posting more: thoughtful replies on accounts a little bigger than yours, since their audience already wants that topic.
Tell me you're a freelancer without telling me you're a freelancer.
I'll go first: I refresh my inbox more than I refresh my coffee.
Your turn π

55 days till Christmas and today I'm supposed to pick a Halloween costume. Easy. I'm going as "girl still waiting on a client to reply" ππ
Day 6 of my Christmas challenge. I'm taking real digital gigs till the 25th, and I'm posting every win and every flop right here.
If you're also trying to have a better December than last year, stick around.
What are you dressing up as tonight? π

@ruthbouffUGC Charlie and Chloe after the groomers is the content I needed tonight. Aussies always look like they know exactly how good they look after a fresh trim.
@Monicadelopez This is so true. The editing gets the attention, but the story is what keeps people watching to the end, and acting training is honestly an unfair advantage there.
